Problems solved by technology

In the thinning of the fuel cell, maintenance of its structural strength is a problem, and when the connector is connected as described above, the fuel cell may be easily damaged due to the external force received from the connector.
In particular, in a fuel cell mounted on a vehicle, unavoidable external forces such as vibration during driving are continuously applied via the connector, so there is a high possibility of damage
In addition, if the connectors are connected to individual cells, there is a possibility that the assembly will be complicated.

Abstract

Provided is a cell-monitoring connector that can prevent detachment from a fuel cell, even with a simple structure. This connector (4) for measuring a voltage comprises a housing (41) provided with a plurality of slits (45) into each of which an end of respective separators (21) for a plurality of fuel cell units (2) can be inserted. The housing (41) has a rib (46R) at at least one end in the stacking direction of the fuel cell units (2), the rib (46R) protruding in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a single cell monitor connector connected to an end of a fuel cell formed by laminating a plurality of fuel cell cells in a predetermined stacking direction and monitoring the state by measuring the voltage of the fuel cell cells . Background technique [0002] In a fuel cell constituted by laminating a plurality of fuel cell cells, an operation is generally performed in which the voltage of the fuel cell is measured (monitored) and the measured value is used as an index for control. Specifically, the measured value pressure is used as an index for supply control of fuel gas or oxidant gas to the fuel cell, failure diagnosis of the fuel cell, and the like. In order to measure the voltage of the fuel cell, a connector for voltage measurement is electrically connected to a part thereof. [0003] On the other hand, for the miniaturization of fuel cells, studies on thinning fuel cell cells are also progressing. In reduci...
